We’re delighted that we have just published an article in the journal Langmuir. This study, written by Fateh El-Taboni, Emily Caseley, Maria Katsikogianni, Linda Swanson, Thomas Swift and Maria E. Romero-González reports our work on studying Liposaccharide’s produced by bacteria in the formation of biofilms. The full paper can be read at the journal Langmuir

We have just published brand new research into interpolymer complexation, work carried out by Thomas Swift, Stephen Rimmer, Maria Katsikogianni, Natalie Paul and Linda Swanson. This work can now be found online at Science Direct.

We’re delighted to confirm our latest publication with RSC Advances is now available online. This paper, published by Thomas Swift, James Lapworth, Kathryn Swindells, Linda Swanson and Stephen Rimmer concerns using two fluorescence labels to track the swelling / collapse of a highly branched polymer with changing charge density at the chain ends.

Live today our latest research, carried out in collaboration with Sheffield Professor of Physics Mark Geoghegan, is published with the RSC Journal Soft Matter. This paper outlines how even the simplest ‘smart’ polymer model shows unusual and unobserved behaviour despite the maturity of the field.

Announced today the Royal Society of Chemistry have accepted another manuscript by Thomas Swift, Linda Swanson, Andrew Bretherick (from SNF (UK) Ltd) and Stephen Rimmer. Titled ‘Measuring poly(acrylamide) flocculants in fresh water using inter-polymer complex formation’ this follows our recent communication about the use of fluorescence PAA as a polymer probe and demonstrates it’s use in several industrial fresh water flocculation plants around the UK.

Today we have heard another manuscript has just been accepted by RSC Advances, written by Dr. Thomas Swift, Dr. Linda Swanson and Professor Stephen Rimmer, titled “Poly(acrylic acid) Interpolymer Complexation: Use of a Fluorescence Time Resolved Anisotropy as a Poly(acrylamide) Probe.” The paper outlines novel use of time-resolved anisotropy as a sensing technique, determining ppm concentrations of poly(acrylamide) in aqueous solutions.

A new communication by Joanna Shepherd, Prodip Sarker, Kathryn Swindells, Ian Douglas, Sheila MacNeil, Linda Swanson and Stephen Rimmer has just been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
